First published in 1985, The Chinese Art of Tea is an exploration into the history of tea and the Chinese art of tea, known as ch’a-shu. The book begins by delving into the history and legends surrounding tea before moving on to a study of the Emperor Hui Tsung’s treatise on tea and approaches to tea during the Ming Dynasty. It discusses tea gardens, teahouses, the relationship between tea and ceramics, and the connection between tea and health. The book also features a detailed manual for practising the art of drinking tea, including advice for choosing tea, buying tea, different types of infusion and drinking vessels, and the attitude required for obtaining the fullest satisfaction from tea. The Chinese Art of Tea is ideal for anyone with an interest in the history and art of drinking tea, and the social and cultural history of China.
Tea lovers will want to curl up - a pot of their favorite variety at hand - and linger over every informative page of this comprehensive account of tea's history and qualities. Chow and Kramer focus on Chinese teas and tea practices; their wonderfully detailed discussions leave no stone unturned in bringing to light all facets of tea as a plant, drink and institution. Two particularly interesting chapters center on tea's health benefits (which seem to be wide ranging and consequential) and how to make a good cup of tea (no easy task, to which any tea drinker can attest).

Tee erfreut sich seit vielen hundert Jahren großer Beliebtheit. Die Anfänge der ausgeprägten Teekultur finden sich in China, wo zum ersten Mal Pflanzenblätter zu dem aromatischen Getränk gebraut wurde. Auf dem Seeweg kam der Tee aber recht bald nach Europa, wo er sich zunächst als eine Art Arznei bewähren musste, bevor er vor allem in englischen Adelskreisen zum Genussmittel avancierte. Das vorliegende Buch beschreibt sowohl die Geschichte des Tees als auch typische regionale Zubereitungsarten, und geht überdies auf seine kulturellen Bedeutungen ein. Es handelt sich hierbei um eine englischsprachige Ausgabe.
